A member asked:

I was told i have innocent murmur after echo.never told if its systolic or diastolic. would my dr.know that diastolic murmurs are alway pathological?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: Cardiologists would certainly know that diastolic murmurs are usually pathologic. There is one diastolic murmur that is benign: the diastolic murmur of liebman. http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/38/4/755 if your echo was normal, then i'm sure you are fine.

Dr Ferdowsi agreed
